The equipment includes one model of Remington Shotguns, one model of Smith & Wesson Handguns, and one model of Sig Sauer Handguns which are no longer used by the SBPD. There are twenty (20) Remington 870 Marine Magnums. This model has been utilized and issued for over twenty years; these shotguns have sustained much wear and tear during their lives and are no longer fit for modern police usage. There are eight (8) Smith & Wesson M&P handguns. These particular handguns have been in circulation for five years at the police department and cannot be issued to new hires. These handguns have been used extensively for training purposes and are not fit for duty usage. There are three (3) Sig Sauer P229 handguns. These particular handguns have been in circulation for over fifteen years at the police department and cannot be issued to new hires. These handguns have been used extensively by the South Bend Fire Department's Arson Investigators, who have since upgraded to newer handguns. Their firearm program is managed by SBPD. The twenty (20) shotguns and eleven (11) handguns would be traded into Kiesler Police Supply, a QPA Vendor the SBPD consistently does business with, for a credit on future purchases. Thank you, Sgt.
